has filed a brief stating that there are no grounds for relief, along with a motion to
withdraw as counsel of record. We have provided McCrorey the opportunity to
file a pro se supplemental brief. No pro se supplemental brief or answering brief
has been filed.
Our independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S.
75, 80 (1988), discloses no arguable grounds for relief as to McCrorey’s
conviction. We accordingly affirm the conviction.
McCrorey waived the right to appeal his sentence. Because the record
discloses no arguable issue as to the validity of the sentencing waiver, we dismiss
McCrorey’s appeal as to his sentence. See United States v. Watson, 582 F.3d 974,
986-88 (9th Cir. 2009).
Counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED.
AFFIRMED in part; DISMISSED in part.
